Thanks, once I get my hid's and front leds I will make a walk around video showing off all the lights that I have.
Got an email from vvme and they were shipped out today, so I should get them by the latest tueday since they are only coming from delaware. I am expecting to get my led's from autolumination by wednesday since I did upgraded shipping.

My stuff from byvamp design will be here today, so I will get some pics up of them when they arrive. I am really angered that autolumination still hasn't shipped my order yet. (order was made 11am on friday). My hids are in california as of right now and they might just get here this week. My 4300k and 6000k hid bulbs are 2 days behind the hid kit so hopefully I will have alot of pics and inside and out video next week.

My stuff from vamp is here and overall I feel ripped off 20+ dollars for a piece of film and a led. I am happy that their is detailed instructions on how to install everything.

So I bought a blue led for the defroster and the red tint for the odometer.

Well here are the pics:









Edit: just got the email form autolumination and my order just shipping. Thank god!

So I started off the day trying to install my stuff from vamp but that didn't happen because of the following reason's.

In the defroster kit, the led's wires were to short to make a connection on the defroster board (hes got an email)

The red tint for the odometer was horrible I couldn't see it at all during the day and it was so dim at night that I just took it out immediately. I would love to get this to work but I guess it involves completely taking the cluster apart.

I did get something done that was not even planned for the day....




2 months later and the headunit is installed.

I didn't even plan on doing it today but when I opened up the hvac to do my defroster led I said why the hell not. So we took the goat out and got some T connections from autozone since the jvc was installed with them and it was pretty much plug and play.

I cut a hole in the defroster cubby to have my usb plug mount their so where set for that..

I played around with it for an hour and its shweet!


I'll get some picture up tonight.

I lied about the pics but their is a video be upladed right now.
Heres the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nG3lj56knU

I might install the mtx 6.5 components tomorrow & the 6x9's (won't be hooked up because previous owner cut the connection), If i get bored again.

One great feature of this headunit is that about 5 seconds after you shut the car off the headunit starts beaping and mororizes the faceplate down for you so you don't forget to take it off. I love it!
Crap I forgot to show this feature in the video.
I also like how it knows that I am listening to satelite radio, which is represented by the satelite in the video.

Places want 100 bucks to install headunits haha it took me all of 6 bucks (+tax) to put 8 wires together. Yes I only put 8 wires together because only my front speakers are still wired into the harness. My rear speakers are not hooked up because I need to figure out where the previous owner cut the lines for them, I may not even hook them up at all because I should be getting the amp for my speakers relatively soon.

My HID kit just arrived via dhl and its nice!!!

I didn't know that they operate from just one plug from the headlight harness, I thought that they would use both, Well here are the pics:







Since this kit occupies only 1 headlight connector I guess that means its possible that I can buy another kit and run it off the unused connector so that both headlight
slots light up.

Since I ordered the wrong bulbs, I won't get this installed till my other order arrives which based on this shipping time should be thursday night. Which would make the install day sunday because I am working all day firday and saturday.

I will see which bulb is more to my liking (4300k or the 6000k) when they arrive. And my autolumination order should be here friday which also means that their will be a new video posted some time next week.

woah you got HID for both the hi's and low's? Man you should splice them to make all 4 of them stay on at the same time so it will be like daytime when you turn them on at night. lol
